At the IGCE seminar, scientific reports are heard on topical modern problems of science, including climatology, atmospheric physics, and ecology. The purpose of the meetings is to inform the meeting participants on the issue under consideration, to clarify the range of their opinions, as well as to determine the prospects for further research.
For more effective consideration of issues, the seminar chairman usually asks the speaker to provide extended abstracts of the report in advance (within 10 pages in MS Word format, Times Roman 12 font, single spaced). They state the problem, characterize the methods used, present the results, provide a brief comparison with other works, and provide a list of key publications. These extended abstracts are sent to specialists and posted on the IGCE website. The chairman asks a specialist on the issue to give an extended commentary on the report and asks one of the meeting participants to keep a brief record of the questions/answers and statements of the participants. These materials are sent to specialists and posted on the IGCE website.

— On April 10, 2024, at the seminar of the Institute of Global Climate and Ecology named after Academician Yu.A. Izrael (IGCE), the following report was presented: “UPDATING METHANE EMISSION VALUES IN THE COAL INDUSTRY OF RUSSIA”. Authors: V.Kh. Berdin, I.A. Kevbrina, A.A. Mironov, N.V. Uledova (International Center for Sustainable Energy Development (ICSED)).
The report was presented by Vladimir Khakimovich BERDIN (ICSED).
The scientific director of IGCE, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergey Mikhailovich SEMENOV chaired the session.
The following made detailed comments: Mikhail Mikhailovich DYGAN (Russian Energy Agency) and Alexander Ilyich NAKHUTIN (IGCE).
They provided feedback on the proposed improved methodology.
The report was followed by numerous questions and an interesting discussion.
Abstract. A draft improved methodology for estimating methane emissions from open and underground coal mining is presented. The methodology is intended for use in preparing the “NATIONAL INVENTORY OF ANTHROPOGENIC EMISSIONS FROM SOURCES AND ABSORPTIONS BY SINKS OF GREENHOUSE GASES NOT REGULATED BY THE MONTREAL PROTOCOL”. The emission value is estimated correctly using the proposed methodology. The need to improve it is associated with changes in mining conditions and technologies that have occurred recently. The proposed improved methodology corresponds to these changes. It can be recommended for use in estimating emission values from 2016. The uncertainty assessment requires revision and additional discussion.
Seminar meeting materials:
– Presentation for the report;
